J.W. MURPHY: DR.. Pope has been
treating me for eye trouble aud my
Improvement is wonderful. lie is a
great man.
TIL. PUGIi: IL was said in olden
times spare the rod and spoil the
child" The new version should read,
spare the child and spoil the rod"
Mrs. LEWIS: People read tine papers
now days. The only large books
read in this city now are romantic
novels, by tour or five young and old
ladies. They do very little else.
j. A. Cox; Terrell is going TO be the
great nursery of the State. The fruit
tree, shrubbery and plant trade fire.
quently loads several cars day. We
can out compete Dallas in this line.
DEMOCRAT: | advise the gentleman
who approved Henry Georges theo-
ries in your columns yesterday to read
the second article in the Forum. for
March. Sign me Democrat.
Mrs. W. ADAMS: The nature and
force OF woman are just between a

alarge enough government for her to
try to run. am opposed to woman
suffrage.

anything fascinating or sensible in

more refined taste please point out
the excellencies for me?
Col. WRIGHT: / notice that Davis,
of Shelby, has offered a bill taxing
weekly newspapers $50 to $50, and
that an amendment has been offered
to tax brass bands. consider it time
for the legislature to quit and come
home.
MEMBER: No town in Texas can
outstrip Dallas in church troubles and
dissentions. The Christian church
seems TO be the sufferer at present. 1t
is TO be hoped that these friends may
adjust their differences annicably and
promptly.
WALTER HoKE, Paris: Ny town
(Paris) is good one, but of course
we consider Dallas the great trade
center of the richest country on earth.
Some predict that you will have l0O,-
600 population. ! predict 100000 in
the course Of ten more years.
DRUGGIST: sent out batch OF
bills yesterday and seven were return
ed mil debet." A customer will buy
an article and forget it before he gets
home. There is entirely too much
careless buying and reckless selling in
Dallas. A great deal of it is done by
the druggists.
LITTLE ANNE: Cousin Jessie and
had pinch-fght after We got in bed
last night, and she declared that she
would report to the papers that the
"pincher" had reached East Dallas.
Papa says the "pincher' is a crank who
attacks people on the streets at night
and pinchcs them without any cause.
MAYOR JOHN HENRY BROWN: |
cannot promise to be more devoted TO
the public interests than | have been;
but, freed of the judicial department
of the city government, double the
time and labor can be bestowed on
the material interests and pub
lie improvements needed or in pre-.
gress.
PROF GEORGE: Many people do not
understand why dances come in and
90 out of fashion like dresses, but II is
all very plain. When close skirts or
trains are fashionable we have slow
dsnces as glide waltz or schottische,
etc, but when the skirts are ample and
short the heel-and-toe, gallon, racq net
are found on the programmes. The
fashion depends upon convenience.
